3DR Y6 -RTF- FULLY FEATURED UAV DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM

The 3DR Y6 copter is a reliable new offering from 3D Robotics, the 6 motor coaxial configuration has a number of advantages over other multi-rotor configurations:

First, co-located motors preserve thrust symmetry in a single motor out scenario. The Y6 keeps flying if an ESC or motor fails mid-air.

Second, there are only three arms on the Y6. This translates into being able to carry a greater payload, having to maintain fewer components, as well as providing superior performance in higher wind conditions.

Third, the wide front arm offset is perfect for keeping a clear forward view when a camera is attached to the Y6.

Finally, the front arms on the Y6 are capable of folding towards the back arm which offers an incredibly compact package for traveling and storage.

This new design incorporates the HMC5883L digital compass, providing a convenient method of mounting the compass away from sources of interference that may be present in the confines of the vehicle. This is our best GPS module, significantly outperforming the Mediatek GPS due to the larger antenna and next-gen chipset. An excellent solution for multicopters and rovers in particular, where GPS accuracy is paramount. It features active circuitry for the ceramic patch antenna, rechargeable backup battery for warm starts, and I2C EEPROM for configuration storage. The units ship pre-configured for use with 3DR APM 2.6 autopilot; the configuration file is available in the repository.

3DR Y6 copter conversion kit

We are pleased to offer you this simple, well-engineered kit for converting your 3DR hexacopter into a Y6 copter. Change your configuration, load Y6 firmware on to your APM, and you have a new machine!

This is a kit for converting an existing 3DR Hexacopter into a new Y6. The image showing a completed conversion is for illustration only. Kit contents are described below.

The APM 2.5 Power Module is a simple way of providing your APM 2.5 with clean power from a LiPo battery as well as current consumption and battery voltage measurements, all through a 6-pos cable. The on-board switching regulator outputs 5.3V and a maximum of 2.25A from up to a 4S LiPo battery. The Power Module comes completely assembled with XT-60 connectors, and wrapped in shrink tubing for protection.

Tired of breaking your plastic / carbon fiber / fiber glass / wood legs?Well you do understand that something has to give in a rough landing... but some designs seems to be too weak for your style? Meet the last legs you will need to replace... Arms might bent but these will stay intact (if not my guess is that your entire craft entered terminal velocity... there is not much we can do for that)

If you want instant or almost instant 2D/3D locks on your jD-MediaTEK GPS boards. This addon is a must for you. After you add it under jD-MedieTEK 3329 board, it will provide important power to MediaTEK's internal RTC clock system and helps it to keep track on it's current location.

After you power up your main jD-MediaTEK 3329 board it will lock in matter or seconds to closest GPS satellites. Without this board lock times can vary from 30-180 seconds.
